Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 garlic cloves
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup tahini paste
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lime juice or lemon juice, if you prefer
  • ¼ cup cold water more if needed
  • 1 cup fresh chopped parsley leaves stems removed first (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Using a mortar and pestle, crush the garlic cloves with the salt into a paste (or mince the garlic and season with salt.)
  • Add the crushed garlic, tahini paste and lime juice to the bowl of a food processor and blend (it will be thick as it emulsifies.) Add a little bit of water and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Transfer the tahini to a serving bowl, and if you like stir in fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!
